and there will be one... I'm not admitting to how many toiletries I have (:rotfl:) but I think lots of people have a stash that would last years not months!

How's the DFW journey going today?

Hey Chevalier! Thanks very much! I know 2 gym memberships and i didn't go to either! What was i thinking?!? :eek:

Hey Miggy!

After your post last night i had a quick wee gander round the 5 tubs of toiletries (big tubs) and 14 toiletries/makeup bags (you know the ones you get free is you buy 2 products at beauty counters?) and decided aside from shampoo and condition Im going to give this no toiletries until December thing a bash!!! :money:

DFW journey today is not looking to shabby! Took top back £25 back in account. Got the £25 credit note for the dress - RESULT! Got a bottle of cava for my mates engagement present! £8.50 (50p over the £8 budget Le boyf had lent me money for it) BUT before you tut tut and wag some fingers at me, i used some soup in flat today so no lunch cost for me! Whoohooo! I'm taking this as small victory. :j Already had bought her some champagne flutes aswell pre lightbulb (3rd) moment incase all you guys think i was buying her was the cava! :cool:

Starting a collection of credit notes though:

Debenhams £25
All saints £20.50
Karen Millen £40

Decided going to keep these for a while until Im feeling like a treat or something (mwahahahaha) as I've recently bought quite alot of clothes (see post 1) So don't really feel like a merit anything new! Might also bail me out with presents! :rotfl:

Nice one! :j:j:j
And great steps made on the MS front elsewhere, too. If you get tired of that Karen Millen credit note, I might just have roomfor it! :D

You have made me think: I have a bag of Mum's toiletries (she's in a care home and I gathered up an armful of bits of her stuff in case she might need them). I can get them back to her and save myslef some space.

If space paid me money I'm sure I would have less clutter!

Thanks Emzilla! Once i get rid of the gym equipment ill be happy

Haha Miggy noted re Karen Millen ! I desperately need space - 1 bedroom flat is not nearly big enough for the amount of toiletries i have

Currently STILL trying to gut the flat and i swear its messier. It gets worse before it gets better - NOT:) REALLY i'm just pulling everything out...realising what a task its going to be...thinking D*ck this im going for a cuppa and a magazine then start pulling out something else with the hope that it's easier!!!!

Bad_Weather

Ohh forgot to say!

Next money saving task. Spent the evening doing lots of hand washes and delicate washes so i don't spend £11 a pop on dry cleaning.

I had 3 dresses and a silk shirt and a top. So i recon thats 55 bucks I've saved

I'll be doing that from now on now that i won't be out as much :rotfl:
